Anno Mutationem is a charming little indie RPG. (If we can even call it a RPG.. don't expect any deep mechanics, complexe dialogue system or branching stories etc... )
The visuals are the best part. I really like the mix of 2D sprites and 3D environments. It's clearly not an original Cyberpunk universe, but each area is full of little details, the city feels alive and it's enjoyable to explore.
The inspirations are too obvious sometimes, with many elements that seem to be directly borrowed from Akira, MGS, Evangelion or even SCP.
The combat system is simple but fun enough, and the overall level design and pacing were decent. Nothing crazy but I never got bored either.
The main problem is the story, which gets very messy towards the end. The developers tried to make too many plots and put too many characters. I think it's the typical case of the writer throwing stuffs on the wall in the hope of making the lore deeper.
